Concrete work — slabs, driveways, foundations, and flatwork — has little room for error. Mix design, reinforcement coordination, placement, and curing all affect whether the pour holds up for decades or cracks within a season. California licenses that scope under C-8.
True Local Pros lists contractors by the CSLB classification the register records. Every concrete contractor on this page holds an active C-8 licence you can verify yourself at cslb.ca.gov before anyone orders a truck or sets a form.

The register records the classification — not invented specialties
We cover the full spectrum of residential and commercial needs. Here is what our pros can do for you:
CSLB defines the C-8 classification to cover forming, pouring, placing, finishing, and installing specified mass, pavement, flat, and other concrete work — including placing and setting screeds for pavements or flatwork.
Pavement and flat concrete work — driveways, patios, sidewalks, and similar surfaces — fall within the C-8 scope when formed, poured, placed, and finished by a licensed concrete contractor. Subgrade prep and drainage affect longevity as much as the pour itself.
Specified mass concrete work, including many foundation and footing pours, falls under C-8. Projects that also require structural steel placement as a standalone trade may need a separate CSLB classification — confirm scope before combining trades on one contract.
Finishing is named explicitly in the C-8 scope — broom finishes, troweled surfaces, and stamped or colored treatments applied as part of the concrete placement and finish process. Confirm whether specialty coatings fall within the contractor's licensed scope.
Removing and replacing failed flatwork, patching spalled surfaces, and similar repair work on existing concrete structures typically requires the same C-8 classification as new placement when the project exceeds California's licensing threshold.
Pavement concrete work — parking areas, curbs, and other site flatwork — is within the mass, pavement, and flat work described in the C-8 scope statement. Access, drainage, and expansion joint placement matter on every site pour.
California requires contractors performing concrete work over $500 in labor and materials to hold an active C-8 licence issued by the Contractors State License Board (CSLB). CSLB defines a concrete contractor as one who "forms, pours, places, finishes and installs specified mass, pavement, flat and other concrete work; and places and sets screeds for pavements or flatwork." This class "shall not include contractors whose sole contracting business is the application of plaster coatings or the placing and erecting of steel or bars for the reinforcing of mass, pavement, flat and other concrete work." You can read the full scope at cslb.ca.gov.
True Local Pros checks one thing, and checks it properly. Every concrete contractor on this page is matched against the California State License Board register and only appears while their C-8 licence status is active. The licence number is shown with a link to the CSLB record so you can confirm it in a click at cslb.ca.gov.
To be clear about the limits: True Local Pros does not verify insurance, bonding, or workmanship, because those are not in the public register we read. Before any work starts, ask the contractor for proof of insurance, and ask for three recent references you can call. License first. References second. Reviews last.
C-8 is the CSLB classification for concrete contractors. It covers forming, pouring, placing, finishing, and installing mass, pavement, flat, and other concrete work, including screeds for pavements or flatwork. It excludes contractors whose sole business is plaster coatings or placing reinforcing steel. Verify any licence at cslb.ca.gov.
Single-trade concrete work — a driveway, patio, or slab — typically falls under C-8. Projects requiring two or more unrelated trades may need a Class B general building contractor to coordinate the work. True Local Pros lists each classification separately so you can verify the right licence for your project.
No. Searching listings, viewing profiles, and contacting a contractor directly through True Local Pros is free, with no account required and no platform commission.
No. True Local Pros verifies CSLB licence status only — classification, licence number, and whether the record shows active. Insurance, bonding, and work quality are not in the public register. Ask each contractor for current insurance documentation and recent references before hiring.
CSLB scope states that C-8 "shall not include contractors whose sole contracting business is the placing and erecting of steel or bars for the reinforcing of mass, pavement, flat and other concrete work." Reinforcing steel as a standalone trade falls under other classifications such as C-50 or C-51. Ask which licences cover each part of your project.
Yes, for homeowners. Searching the directory and contacting contractors is completely free. You pay the contractor directly for the work — True Local Pros charges no platform fees or commissions.
